I Was Banned From AVS For This?

The High Def Forum has the most HD DVD FUD per capita and I haven't been watching at AVSForums lately. The trouble we are faced with is simple, as long as Universal is HD DVD exclusively, HD DVD will be around and both formats will do poorly in terms of market and profits in my opinion. The stupid announcement of the Samsung dual format player isn't helping either. Stick to facts and personal opinions, not inflammatory remarks at that or any forum. Although I wouldn't have known the post shown here would result in being banned, I do know it is against my understanding of the intent for any of these forums.

A similar comment about Sony/Blu-ray at that forum hopefully isn't permitted either.

Inflammatory is calling someone a fanboy actively taking part in a disinformation campaign.

I only pointed out that VC-1 isn't lossless at HD-DVD bitrates and added that only one format has the capacity to handle LOTR. Ok, the viral marketing comment maybe somewhat inflammatory but that's clearly what's going on over there. Have you seen the insider forum lately? It's X-Box central.

I even paid homage to Microsoft with a quote from Bill Gates. Everything I posted was true and unassailable.
